Hey readers, as you probably know by now, I have been teaching on Hudson Bay in the Eeyou Itschee community of Whapmagoostui since late October. Some of you have been asking about my living space and how the teaching is going and I’d like to answer these questions before I leave in two weeks!
Battling the arctic winds off Hudson bay and the deep snow on the ground, I slowly make my way back to my accommodations. Its 4:05 and the sun has already set, stars beginning to twinkle behind a cloud covered sky. I make a quick dinner and settle down with a tea in front of my computer, an electric heater beside my feet. Today marks the end of the third week I’ve spent on Hudson Bay and I’m missing the sun, stars, and warm weather! (*and my little brat Oliver*)
My first few days in Whapmagoostui, Quebec (Great Whale River). Sub-arctic climate, wild wheat, stray jellyfish, and a lot of sand! Read about my experience landing on Hudson Bay and see some of the photos I took during my first week working there.
